Connecting Global STEM Talent to Japanese Companies: What is the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Internship Program?
The Japan Association of New Economy (JANE) will host an online business seminar to secure specialized STEM talent in the fields of IT, AI, and semiconductors. This seminar will provide a detailed explanation of how to utilize the "Global South – Japan Tech Talent Internship Program" promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Currently, the Japanese IT industry is facing a shortage of highly skilled personnel, making the acquisition of excellent talent from overseas a critical challenge. This program aims to connect young engineers from emerging countries—collectively known as the Global South—with Japanese companies, promoting future recruitment through internships.
The seminar will introduce the specific mechanics of the program, key points for hosting international talent, and successful case studies. For IT companies and firms involved in technology development, this will be a valuable opportunity to incorporate a global perspective and strengthen their competitiveness.
JANE continues to engage in activities that promote a proper understanding of e-business and IT, as well as policy advocacy. Through this seminar, the organization aims to support Japanese companies in riding the wave of global technological innovation and achieving sustainable growth.
Corporate representatives interested in utilizing international talent can gain the latest information through this seminar. It will serve as an important step toward improving domestic technological capabilities and building an international network.
